It was the night before Christmas.
I was so excited to wake up the next day because my extended family were all coming over and it had been a long time since we all got together.
I could not get to sleep thinking about all the fun that will happen the next day.
After a few hours of tossing and turning, I finally fell asleep.
I was awoken by a strange noise coming from downstairs. I could make out my mum’s voice, but I couldn’t make out what she was saying.
I decided to investigate and crept quietly down the stairs.
As I got closer to the living room, I heard a familiar sound of kissing.
I peaked around the corner and to my shock, my mum was in Santa’s lap and they were kissing! I couldn’t believe my eyes.
I quickly ran back up to my room and hid under the covers. I was so confused. What was my mum doing kissing Santa and who exactly is Santa?
Was my Dad dressed in a Santa costume and were they engaging in some weird roleplay?
The following morning, I was still trying to wrap my head around what I had seen. I didn’t know what to do. I was so embarrassed and scared to tell anyone.
My mum eventually noticed my silence and asked me what was wrong. I didn’t want to tell her, but I knew I had to.
I reluctantly told her about seeing her kissing Santa.
She got a shock and pulled me aside and then told me that she had actually been involved with her colleague for some time.
He was drunk and decided to randomly pop up at our place and things eventually got frisky.
I could not believe what I just heard!
How could she betray my Dad like that while he was also in the house?
I advised her to end things off with her colleague but she told me that there is no more love between my Dad and her.
What a Christmas ‘surprise’ that was
